Tech Center 3600 • Art Units: 3627 3687
This examiner grants 10% of resolved cases
Matthew S. Weronski presents a very challenging environment in Art Unit 3627, with an allowance rate of only 9.8 percent across 122 resolved cases. The median days to allowance is 1315, indicating that even successful cases face a long and difficult path in Tech Center 3600. This low allowance rate is a critical factor for applicants to consider, as it suggests a very high level of examiner scrutiny.
The interview lift of 20.4 percent is significant in this context. While the baseline allowance rate is very low at 9.8 percent, an interview provides a substantial boost to the chances of success. Practitioners must use every available tool, especially interviews, to navigate this examiner's rigorous standards. The 1315-day median pendency further highlights the difficulty of this docket. However, the 20.4 percent lift shows that the examiner is receptive to verbal arguments, which may be an effective way to move an application toward a grant. Given the 9.8 percent baseline, applicants should be prepared for a long prosecution process and should prioritize early and frequent communication to improve their initial odds of success across the 122 resolved cases.
